I agree with Jeff White Jeff White writes: Jumping into the middle of a domestic dispute when you aren't duty bound is one of the stupidest, most foolhardy acts one could possibly do. Domestic situations are very dangerous and it's not at all uncommon to have the "victim" you are trying...

Reply to Mutant Musket At We the Armed I received the following reply: Mutant Musket writes: "Tanks cannot fire down into basements, but anti-aircraft guns can" LOLWHAT. SPAAGs can fire at higher angles than tanks, not fire down into basements. What is all this stuff suposed to be...

“Our tactic in Grozny was to fire at the enemy everywhere without being seen anywhere. The Russians did not know where and who the enemy was. We shot, destroyed, withdrew, went home to sleep, returned to start military actions again. No organization or planning. We were independent hunters.” –...

At We the Armed, Thernlund closed this thread with an angry PM to me, Grozny. JesseL writes: I'm not old or weak, but I have absolutely no reason in the world to engage in fistfight... I'll cheat and shoot him until he stops fighting. I reply: My mistake! In fact, this conversation...

Albatross writes: It has been my experience that a single shot from a .22 does not draw any attention. I've occasionally sniped nutria and problem raccoons and no ones even noticed. I bet none gunnies just assume its a car backfiring. The swat team doesn't show up or anything=P. Would...

Woodfiend writes: Suggesting to someone to shoot a .22LR pistol in a crowded city is a mistake too. Better go back and fix THAT I reply: That is not in my website. That was just an off-hand comment to Expvideo. He did not seem inclined to take my opinion on anything, so I told him how...

Crunker1337 writes: ".308 is the worst of the bunch" ?! I reply: By "worst of the bunch" I meant that it is almost outside the acceptable trajectory and wind drift described by my system. I have a single set of flashcards that are intended to train anybody with a "bolt-action deer...

General Geoff writes: What is an M1-A1? Is it similar to a Springfield Armory M1A? I.e. 7.62mm autoloading box magazine-fed rifle? I reply: I meant M1A. I just fixed this on my website. I'm not sure why I said "M1-A1." I was probably thinking of the M16, which has variants A1...

General Geoff writes: Why would you intentionally limit yourself to a bolt action when an autoloader can be just as accurate out to the ranges you're talking about? I reply: In my Frequently Asked Questions I write: "Which is the best caliber? I have said elsewhere, and you can see...

Fiddletown writes: What a bizarre, preposterous thing to suggest. In virtually all cities, it's a crime to discharge a firearm within the city limits. I reply: I didn't say that I was going to do it. Expvideo asked the question, so let him do it.

JohnBt writes: "A deer rifle is most effective at ranges of 300 to 500 yards." The most popular deer rifle for many, many decades has been the lever action .30-30 and it's at most maybe a 150 to 200 yard gun. Even a .270 at 500 yards drops around 40 inches shooting a 150 grain bullet...

Jimbothefiveth writes: I think what [Shaka]'s advocating is a controllable [hand]gun, that allows good shot placement. I think the general standard for picking a self-defense handgun is "the biggest you can shoot well". I reply: The dog trainer must fire one-handed because his other arm...

Expvideo writes: Can you answer the question you were asked earlier in this thread? I was kind of annoyed that you didn't address it, since it is important: Have you ever fired a machinegun? I reply: I answered that question on the first page of this thread, reply #8. I said "yes."...

Owen writes: shaka, which mfg's reticle are you using for the overlay? I reply: The Leupold VX-II 3-9X Tactical Scope.

I gotta go, guys. I'm at an internet cafe and they're closing. I'll pick up this thread tomorrow.

General Geoff writes: If I get to use tracers, you're on. edit; an 8" target is significantly smaller than man-sized, you know. a 24"x36" target would more closely replicate what you're getting at. I reply: PM me a month in advance - I'll need time to arrange things. An 8" target...

Hankdatank1362 writes: I'm with you up until this: Quote: K. Sidearm. I recommend the Ruger Mark III. I reply: I based this advise on a trainer of guard dogs I know who carries a Mark III when he goes to get a dog that has killed an intruder or has gone off its training. Many...

General Geoff writes: I highly doubt that the sights of a SAW only go out to 400 meters. Even if that's true, however, it's irrelevant. Standard operating procedure for hitting targets that far away with a machine gun is to "walk" the stream of fire out to your target (this is what tracers...

Akodo writes: I'd never get on a motorcylce and ride away except if I and it were behind cover/concealment, or if I could do it before they realize what just happened. I reply: My tactics page is entirely about urban combat. Infantry weapons work a LOT better in a rural environment...

General Geoff writes: FYI, the maximum effective range for the M249 (5.56mm) SAW is considered to be 1,000 meters. Heavier machine guns that fire 7.62mm and .50BMG have much farther effective ranges than that. I reply: Federal .223 ammunition with a 55-grain Sierra BTHP bullet, has 98...
